Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2) Detection

Portable & fixed-point Cl2 detectors for textiles, pulp, and paper industries.

About Chlorine Dioxide Detection

Chlorine Dioxide is a yellow to reddish-yellow gas used predominantly in bleaching and stripping of textiles, pulp, and paper industries.

It also serves as a disinfectant and sanitizer in water treatment and food processing. Its unique properties allow for efficient sterilization without creating harmful chlorinated byproducts. Despite its benefits, ClO2 is a potent irritant and a strong oxidizer, necessitating advanced detection and control measures to prevent occupational hazards.

Common Challenges

  • Highly reactive and can cause severe respiratory irritation even at low concentrations.
  • Potential for explosive reactions when exposed to sunlight or heat.
  • Difficult to detect at low levels without specialized equipment.

Current Guidelines

OSHA:

  • PEL-TWA: 0.1 ppm (0.3 mg/m³)
  • PEL-STEL: 0.3 ppm (0.9 mg/m³)
